Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew Morton)
Merge first patch-bomb from Andrew Morton: "Quite a lot of other stuff is banked up awaiting further next->mainline merging, but this batch contains: - Lots of random misc patches - OCFS2 - Most of MM - backlight updates - lib/ updates - printk updates - checkpatch updates - epoll tweaking - rtc updates - hfs - hfsplus - documentation - procfs - update gcov to gcc-4.7 format - IPC" * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (269 commits) ipc, msg: fix message length check for negative values ipc/util.c: remove unnecessary work pending test devpts: plug the memory leak in kill_sb ./Makefile: export initial ramdisk compression config option init/Kconfig: add option to disable kernel compression drivers: w1: make w1_slave::flags long to avoid memory corruption drivers/w1/masters/ds1wm.cuse dev_get_platdata() drivers/memstick/core/ms_block.c: fix unreachable state in h_msb_read_page() drivers/memstick/core/mspro_block.c: fix attributes array allocation drivers/pps/clients/pps-gpio.c: remove redundant of_match_ptr kernel/panic.c: reduce 1 byte usage for print tainted buffer gcov: reuse kbasename helper kernel/gcov/fs.c: use pr_warn() kernel/module.c: use pr_foo() gcov: compile specific gcov implementation based on gcc version gcov: add support for gcc 4.7 gcov format gcov: move gcov structs definitions to a gcc version specific file kernel/taskstats.c: return -ENOMEM when alloc memory fails in add_del_listener() kernel/taskstats.c: add nla_nest_cancel() for failure processing between nla_nest_start() and nla_nest_end() kernel/sysctl_binary.c: use scnprintf() instead of snprintf() ...

-We export "total", "file", "anon" and "unevictable" pages per-node for

+Each memcg's numa_stat file includes "total", "file", "anon" and "unevictable"

-And we have total = file + anon + unevictable.
+The "total" count is sum of file + anon + unevictable.
